Une tra\u00eetresse voix bien souvent vous appelle ;
\n\tNe vous pressez donc nullement :
\nCe n\u2019\u00e9tait pas un sot, non, non, et croyez-m\u2019en,
\n\tQue le Chien de Jean de Nivelle.
\nUn citoyen du Mans, chapon de son m\u00e9tier
\n\t\u00c9tait somm\u00e9 de compara\u00eetre
\n\tPar-devant les lares du ma\u00eetre,
\nAu pied d\u2019un tribunal que nous nommons foyer.
\nTous les gens lui criaient, pour d\u00e9guiser la chose :
\n\u00ab Petit, petit, petit ! \u00bb Mais, loin de s\u2019y fier,
\nLe Normand et demi laissait les gens crier.
\n\u00ab Serviteur, disait-il ; votre app\u00e2t est grossier :
\n\tOn ne m\u2019y tient pas ; et pour cause. \u00bb
\nCependant un Faucon sur sa perche voyait
\n\tNotre Manceau qui s\u2019enfuyait.
\nLes chapons ont en nous fort peu de confiance,
\n\tSoit instinct, soit exp\u00e9rience.
\nCelui-ci, qui ne fut qu\u2019avec peine attrap\u00e9,
\nDevait, le lendemain, \u00eatre d\u2019un grand souper,
\nFort \u00e0 l\u2019aise en un plat, honneur dont la volaille
\n\tSe serait pass\u00e9e ais\u00e9ment.
\nL\u2019oiseau chasseur lui dit : \u00ab Ton peu d\u2019entendement
\nMe rend tout \u00e9tonn\u00e9. Vous n\u2019\u00eates que racaille,
\nGens grossiers, sans esprit, \u00e0 qui l\u2019on n\u2019apprend rien.
\nPour moi, je sais chasser, et revenir au ma\u00eetre.
\n\tLe vois-tu pas \u00e0 la fen\u00eatre ?
\nIl t\u2019attend : es-tu sourd ? \u2013 Je n\u2019entends que trop bien,
\nRepartit le chapon ; mais que me veut-il dire,
\nEt ce beau cuisinier arm\u00e9 d\u2019un grand couteau ?
\n\tReviendrais-tu pour cet appeau :
\n\tLaisse-moi fuir ; cesse de rire
\nDe l\u2019indocilit\u00e9 qui me fait envoler,
\nLorsque d\u2019un ton si doux on s\u2019en vient m\u2019appeler.
\n\tSi tu voyais mettre \u00e0 la broche
\n\tTous les jours autant de faucons
\n\tQue j\u2019y vois mettre de chapons,
\nTu ne me ferais pas un semblable reproche. \u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"default","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"annee":[166],"poems-book":[142],"poemes-theme":[],"poete":[151],"class_list":["post-1286","poemes","type-poemes","status-publish","hentry","annee-166","poems-book-fables","poete-jean-de-la-fontaine"],"yoast_head":"\n
